Dispatch: The Most Daring Expose Bulletin in the Nation, Vol. III, No. VI

Chicago: Pioneer News Service, 1945. A single issue of this anti-Semitic newsletter edited and published by Homer Maertz. Although published in Maertz's home of Chicago, much of the content reports on events in NYC - all related to Jews. Maertz's fellow traveler, Eugene Brand writes about his approach to "free press" in peddling nationalist and anti-Semitic material in his newspaper store in the heart of Yorkville, unlike the Friends of Democracy, Inc. who he accuses of "peddl[ing] their poison like dopesters."

Herman Homer Gustus Maerz was a founder of the Dearborn Crusaders, leader of the Chicago Silver Shirts, and the first secretary of the German American National Alliance, which attempted to replace the Bund. He was imprisoned numerous times for the distribution of anti-Semitic material and in 1939 led a fascist gang who broke windows and daubed swastikas on a Jewish department store. At a 1944 America First meeting he proposed the deportation of all Jews from the U.S. and the sterilization of those who elected to remain.
